The Dot® is “THE” essential cooking tool.
The Dot™ Probe Thermometer has transformed the way I cook, greatly enhancing my skills in the kitchen. No longer will I overcook or undercook a roast chicken or a beef tenderloin, nor will I serve soggy fried anything ever again. All of this success can be attributed to the Dot®!
As Thermoworks puts it, “The Dot® is engineered to do one thing really well.” And it truly excels at that! Its simplicity makes it accessible for cooks at any skill level, enabling anyone to achieve perfectly cooked proteins and vegetables, or just about anything where internal temperature is crucial. And this include oil!

User Friendly
The Thermoworks Dot is incredibly user-friendly. Simply select your desired temperature using the up or down buttons, insert the probe into your food, and the Dot® will beep once it reaches the target temperature. It really is as simple as that.
The Dot® in Action
These are real pictures from my real kitchen showing how I use the Dot® .
Who is the Dot® for?
The Dot® was my first purchase from Thermoworks and since then I have become a devoted fan. I now own multiple units, which I use constantly. I also often gift The Dot® to friends and family because I truly believe every kitchen should have one.
The Thermoworks Dot® is for anyone who cares about temperature and wants to eliminate stressful cooking!
For example, (personal experience) when investing in a cut of beef, I want to make sure it’s cooked perfectly. The only way that can be done confidently is with the help of a Dot®. With just the one time investment that I made for about $40, I have saved myself the stress of ever ruining an expensive cut of beef, like tenderloin on a holiday, ever again. I will never again have to worry about undercooking a roast chicken, drying out pork chops, or frying at the wrong temperature. In my honest opinion, it has paid for itself and then some. I can no longer imagine cooking without one.
Besides roasts, what else can you use the Dot® for?
The options are really endless, but in my personal experience, I use it most often for:
- All types of beef, chicken & pork roasts
- Pork ribs, Brisket, Chicken thighs and other high collagen cuts to ensure tenderness.
- Reverse seared meats such as Rib Eyes, or Pork Chops
- Roasted salmon or other thicker fishes
- Monitor oil temperatures when Frying anything (For frying, you will need this silicone probe holder purchased separately on Amazon.)
